MV Agusta Brutale F4 1078RR, £13,999The Italian firm has released a bewildering number of Brutale variants since the original 750. But the latest 1078RR version is different. It's as savagely fast as you'd expect, but it's friendly too.

Triumph Speed Triple, £7999Still a style king with huge street presence. It combines brutal looks with great performance and a bargain price. Due an update soon, but even that is going to be seriously out-gunned by Aprilia's Tuono.

Ducati Streetfighter, £11,616A new bike that represents the same idea as the Tuono, a naked bike that's based on a sports bike - in this case the Ducati 1098. Well received, but has been criticised for being a little too civilised by some.

Moto Morini Corsaro Veloce 1200, £11,499A left-field choice, but still a bike with a stomping great engine that can be great fun. Something different from the usual default naked bike choices available.
